Sutton Place South
New York,
NY 10022

According to the NYC Parks Department, back in the late nineteenth century, the neighborhood around Sutton Place Park was “infamous for gangs of street toughs.” Thankfully, nowadays, there is nary a neighborhood tough to be found. Instead, the small, shady plaza behind the FDR Drive and overlooking the East River provides a delightful spot to rest, read, and reflect.
